Ides of March

Cowards die many times before their deaths;
The valiant never taste of death but once.
Of all the wonders that I have yet heard,
It seems to me most strange that men should fear,
Seeing that death, a necessary end,
Will come when it will come.

- Caesar in Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, II.ii.34-39
